About: I grew up surrounded by dogs—including chihuahuas, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and currently a high-energy golden retriever and a 14-year-old senior chihuahua. I understand the unique needs of puppies, active breeds, and senior pets. I follow care routines to the letter and truly enjoy connecting with each animal’s personality. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle companionship, I provide thoughtful, consistent, and loving care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am a part time student and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, feedings, medications, and quality time throughout the day and evening. I treat every home and pet with respect. I follow detailed instructions and prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and routine. I ensure pets have a safe, familiar environment—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, using harnesses properly on walks, or keeping medications on track. Communication is key, and I always provide timely updates to pet parents.


About: I have been taking care of animals all my life, from the pets I grew up with (dogs, cats and horses) to my first job at a small boarding kennel. I grew that love of animals to becoming a vet tech for the past 4 years so I'm well versed in all pets and ailments that come with them. I can medicate and assist with limited mobility creatures of all shapes and sizes. I'm currently working part-time so have plenty of time to take care of your furry friend's! I schedule my days with walks, feedings, and playtime in mind, ensuring each furry client gets the individual attention and love they deserve. I am experienced in meeting pets on their terms and in their environment. I am also respectful of others spaces and their own pets requirements (needing to be crated, etc.).

About: I have lots of experience in pets from birthing to seniors! I’ve done plenty of puppy training and I’ve worked with animals my entire life! Hello! I work full time during the week 8:15-4:30 and I do Rover on the side to help pay for my college! I have much more free time on the weekends but if you book for weekdays I’ll make sure your babies get the love and care they need! In my home I always make sure that my pets needs come first, if I notice a behavior I always try to find the root of it before making changes.

About: Animals care is my passion! I have worked with animals in various settings (shelter, daycare, boarding, and homes), and I love to make animals feel safe and comfortable. I have always adored dogs, but I also have plenty of experience taking care of cats and a variety of small animals. I will always pay attention to the unique personalities, preferences, and quirks of your pets. I believe this is the best way to form a friendship and mutual respect with my furry clients. I highly value attention to detail, so I won't forget their favorite snacks, the toy they like to sleep with, or anything else you need me to know! Safe handling is always my top priority, and I would be especially honored to take care of your senior or special needs dogs. They are so special, and I know how precious and important their care is. Feel free to contact me with any questions! My schedule is flexible, so I am open to whatever your pet needs. If you need a specific schedule or service, just ask, and I will work with you! My #1 rule is to always respect animals and their personal space! I strive to handle every situation calmly. I have a lot of experience working with anxious animals, animals with past abuse and trauma, reactive dogs, and scaredy cats. I will consistently pay attention to your pet's well-being and any changes in their behavior, and I can provide updates as frequently as you'd like.

About: I have spent the majority of my life with pets, have been an assistant dog trainer and grew up on a farm with animals surrounding me! I work from home so that gives me quite a bit of flexibility. I also have a lot of availability and flexibility over the weekends as well. We currently have a rabbit and turtle in my home and have had them for years. We are able to take great care of cats or dogs, in your home or ours!

About: Hi! I'm Allison! I've been either living with or working with dogs for more than two decades! For me, pups are family!

I currently work from home Monday and Friday as a contractor with a flexible schedule, so I can devote as much time needed to your pets!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—growing up with a Shih Tzu for 9 years and regularly helping care for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over a decade. While I’ve only owned one dog myself, I’ve supported friends and family with everything from puppy training to senior care. I have 12+ years of experience providing love, structure, and attention to dogs’ unique personalities and needs. I’m also comfortable administering medications, maintaining feeding schedules, and giving pets the comfort and care they deserve while their humans are away. As a full-time student and part-time remote worker, I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to easily accommodate pet care throughout the week. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I can adjust my routine to meet each pet's needs. I also enjoy getting outside for walks or jogs, so having a furry companion join me would be a bonus! My home is a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I live in an apartment complex with a quiet, rarely used dog park—perfect for pets who may need a calm space to explore or don’t do well around other dogs. I keep my living space tidy and pet-proofed, with no food or items left out that could pose a risk. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I aim to make them feel right at home while you're away.

About: I have extensive experience training and raising dogs, including personally training two service dogs from puppyhood. Over the years, I have provided pet sitting services for a wide range of clients, earning consistent positive feedback and many repeat customers. I am skilled in caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring specialized attention. I also have experience handling extra-large breeds and am comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments. In addition to my dog care experience, I have cared for cats since childhood and specialize in senior cat care. I understand the unique needs of cats, from shy kittens to older cats requiring medication, extra patience, and a calm environment. Whether it's playtime, cuddle time, or simply keeping a watchful eye, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each cat’s individual personality. I am currently a full-time student on summer break, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. I’m available for both drop-in visits and overnight stays, depending on what your pets need to feel comfortable and cared for. With no major time commitments during the summer, I can easily adapt to your pet’s regular routine, whether that means frequent potty breaks, play sessions, feeding times, medication schedules, or just lots of extra snuggles. I exclusively offer pet care services in the comfort of my clients’ homes. I believe pets are happiest and most relaxed in their familiar environment, surrounded by their usual sights, smells, and routines. My priority is to maintain your pet’s normal schedule, provide plenty of attention, and ensure their safety and well-being while you're away. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things tidy and secure so you can have complete peace of mind. Your pet’s happiness and your trust are my top priorities.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve regularly dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. This past summer, I worked for a professional dog walking and cat visiting company, where I received hands-on training in handling different breeds, recognizing body language, and responding to a variety of situations with calm and care. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra training and supervision, as well as senior pets who may require gentler handling or special accommodations. I’m skilled at following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and adjusting my approach to match each pet’s personality and needs. What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong passion, professional training, and dedication to treating every pet as if they were my own. I go to Indiana University Indianapolis, but I make time in my weekly routine to care for pets because it’s something I truly enjoy. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and sitting around my classes. Whether it’s mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I’m able to dedicate quality time to making sure pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for. My classes are only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their established routines and any specific instructions provided to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to each animal’s unique needs, whether that means using special walking equipment, feeding a particular diet, or administering medications. My background working for a dog walking and cat visiting company taught me how to handle pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, as well as how to respond calmly to unexpected situations. I make safety a top priority, ensuring leashes and harnesses are secure, doors and gates are closed, and pets are never put in unsafe situations. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing consistent care, affection, and attention so both pets and owners can feel confident and at ease.

About: Growing up, there was never a time when there wasn’t a dog in the house, and I have been a cat mom for going on five years, so I am very understanding of the care that comes with each animal. Additionally, I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way to senior pets and know that each require personalized care (and I have no problem giving it). As an added bonus, I live with my partner, who also is a dog dad and everyday he gives his dog daily vitamins to stay happy and healthy. Plus he used to work at a wild life rehabilitation center, so he is very familiar with how to care for all animals, regardless of species, age or health. I work a hybrid schedule and currently have every other Friday off so I have plenty of time to care for your best friend. My work also allows employees to bring their dogs to work, if it’s something you’re comfortable with, I would love to show off your doggo! I am available for drop off/pickup anytime on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Plus my partner is a graduate student, so he comes home throughout the day to care for his own dog. I have a fenced in yard, so there are no worries when it comes to potty or play. Plus, I live with a very playful dog who can’t wait to spend time with your doggo! I also have a cat who is very tolerant of dogs (she probably won’t play, but doesn’t mind their presence). She is also very comfortable around other cats, she’s a tad shy so another playmate will probably do her some good!

About: I have a lot of experience finding other people's dogs. I found many of them running free, so I helped the animals back to their homes. Because I'm a pretty fit guy, it would be hard for anything other than a giant dog to throw me around. I work from home, making my own schedule. I can pretty much check in on pets whenever necessary. If need be, I could also check in on pets during the weekend, but my wife might join me for puppy or kitty adventures. For the most part, I simply follow the instructions for anyone that needs me to pet sit. I feed, water, and play how owners request. Besides that, I give the proper amount of attention to pets based on what they want. Animals who want cuddles will be held. Pets who want space will be left alone. I follow the same principles for my own pets; but my cats are not allowed outside, and my dog is never allowed off leash. I live next to a busy road. I would be heartbroken if anything ever happened to them.

About: I grew up on a farm, I have been around ALL types of animals. I have a 3 year old lab “Luna”. I love being outdoors My fiance and I work remote majority of the time. We are able to give the attention that your fur baby needs and wants. 💚 I have a large yard and a big house for playing. I have a lab named Luna, who is fixed. She loves to run and play fetch.


About: I have been taking care of pups for over 14 years now. I grew up with three dogs minimum and especially loved taking care of the dachshund-beagle mixes and black lab/Basset hound mixes. I have cared for about a dozen breeds of dogs, ranging from shih tzus and miniature dachshunds to German Shepherds and every size in between. I love to play with pups and their toys, go on walks/runs, help with training and tricks, and giving them lots of attention while their favorite humans are away. I am able to come to your home to care for your pups for quick walks during the day or dogsitting over night, and also offer boarding at my home. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!

Estrella V.
“Estrella is by far my first choice when I need a dog sitter. Estrella has taken care of my chihuahua multiple times, the last one for an entire week.

Above all, Estrella is trustworthy, she gets the job done, and my dog loves her!”


Quinlynn K.
“We love Quinlynn! For the last few years with our ancient yowly cat, Tyke, Quinlynn was the best possible caretaker we could have asked for. We took an extended trip, in which Quinlynn stayed in our home caring for our extremely needy 18 year old ginger cat, for 3 months. Our cat was happy and healthy when we arrived back home. We requested pet care from Quinlynn several more times for the rest of Tyke’s life and she was always happy in Quinlynn’s care. We were also touched that, in Tyke’s final days, Quinlynn took the time to come visit and offer our cat love and goodbyes. In summary, Quinlynn is trustworthy and wonderful, and I would trust her with my future pets without reservation.”
